Agenda Different contracting approaches to facilities management outsourcing Considerations to be evaluated in determining the best approach for you Best practices which should apply regardless of the chosen approach 12
Polling Question 1. Have you outsourced your FM services to a large FM services provider? a. Yes, to a single FM provider in one region. b. Yes, to a single FM provider across multiple regions. c. Yes, to two or more FM providers in one region. d. Yes, to two or more FM providers across multiple regions. e. No. 13
Different Approaches to Facilities Management Outsourcing What is the desired end-state for the scope of your outsourcing? Single vendor Multiple vendors It is possible that your desired end-state will change after receiving responses to your RFP No single vendor capable of delivering to requirements Certain vendors disqualify themselves with unappealing bids leaving only a single vendor option Acknowledging the need to be flexible, it is useful to anticipate the end-state for the purposes of selecting a contracting approach 14
Single Vendor Contracting Approach Sole-source negotiation Early selection of vendor based on bids followed by negotiation solely with such vendor Traditional competitive negotiation Maintain negotiations with at least 2 vendors until all major issues are negotiated Negotiations conducted over the course of 1-3 months Accelerated competitive negotiation Similar to the traditional approach but enforce an accelerated pace to bring to closure For example, 1 week of negotiations with first vendor and 1 week of negotiations with second vendor, followed by downselect and final week of finalization with chosen vendor. 15
Single Vendor Contracting Approach Pros/Cons SOLE-SOURCE NEGOTIATION TRADITIONAL COMPETITIVE NEGOTIATION ACCELERATED COMPETITIVE NEGOTIATION Pros Pros Pros Lock in vendor and begin preliminary work, relaxed resource requirements to meet timelines Good competitive leverage, relaxed resource requirements to meet timelines Cons Cons Cons Maximum competitive leverage, maintains momentum, meets timing issues Loss of competitive leverage, lengthy negotiation process, easy to lose momentum Lengthy negotiation process, easy to lose momentum Requires dedicated and focused deal team, greater challenge in being thorough and complete 16
Multiple Vendor Contracting Approach Single vendor approaches but handled sequentially Negotiate each scope award sequentially, using any of the three single vendor contracting approaches (sole-source, traditional competitive, accelerated competitive) Simultaneous sole-source negotiation Down-select to 1 vendor for each scope award but conduct all negotiations concurrently for consistency. All awards completed within 1-3 months. Simultaneous competitive negotiation Maintain negotiations with at least 2 vendors for each scope award and conduct all negotiations concurrently for consistency. All awards completed within 1-3 months. 17
Multiple Vendor Contracting Approach Pros/Cons SEQUENTIAL NEGOTIATIONS SIMULTANEOUS SOLE-SOURCE NEGOTIATION SIMULTANEOUS COMPETITIVE NEGOTIATION Pros Pros Pros Apply learnings from previous negotiations Awards determined early to begin preliminary work Cons Cons Cons Maximum competitive leverage, maintains momentum, meets timing issues, greatest ability to enforce consistency between contracts Can be difficult to maintain consistency between contracts Loss of competitive leverage unless easy to reallocate awards Requires dedicated and focused deal team, greater challenge in being thorough and complete 18
Polling Question 1. Have you participated on a negotiation team involving a large services agreement? a. Yes, participated on a large team b. Yes, participated on a small team c. No, have not participated 2. If so, was it able to efficiently close issues? (Y/N) 19
Best Practices The Negotiation Team Should be limited to contributors and decision makers; not spectators Small groups are more intimate and efficient Contributors should be prepared to support positions with real world reasons and examples Designated SMEs need to be committed and reachable Turn around should be measured in hours, not days The team should be aligned on the issues in advance Not all issues will be relevant to all team members 20
Best Practices Negotiations Negotiate as the prepared party as often as possible (e.g., reviewing, aligning and reacting to the other sides draft) Listen and understand the supplier s position or issue that is the first step in resolving the problem Avoid misunderstandings and gotchas as they are very likely to come back to haunt you Use the power of a compromise over just saying no Speak to support a point or to ask a question, not just to be heard 21
Best Practices Negotiations (continued) Be professional and do not get personal Client lead may need to be demanding and direct If negotiations get personal then stop! Old school issues lists can be effective they are a constant visible reminder of how far or close the supplier is to completing the deal Post-contract Invest in a robust post-contract training program to educate and familiarize the stakeholders on the ground around the globe 22
Best Practices Process / Deal Team Need a single accountable person to run the process Need a single accountable person to coordinate with all SMEs Include business owners to ensure the contract reflects requirements on the ground (both commercial and operational) Perform a level set at the end of each day and be prepared to make adjustments Be prepared in tough negotiations for the supplier to attack the advisors Where possible, allocate tasks between members of the deal team and the supplier to maximize efficiency 23
Best Practices MVPs Doers Problem Solvers 24
Best Practices Contract structure Start with a firm vision of scope and pricing model that is established as a first step in the negotiation process Segment work description, pricing, KPIs in a logical way with respect to both contract structure and negotiation for simplicity and severability Gain an early and firm understanding of each provider s capabilities and plan for service in each in-scope country Certain providers may be strong in a region while not having capabilities in a very important customer country Avoid surprises late in the game about a selected provider s overall service delivery model 25
Best Practices Contract structure Incorporate local country requirements in companion agreements Allow deviations from main contract for local legal requirements Permits local payment for budgetary purposes and tax efficiency Local legal and tax requirements may result in some structural changes Local vs. central jurisdictional issues may be difficult Resist natural tendency to renegotiate 26
